Denis was fantastic. He tried to accommodate the entire group. Not easy when you have different levels of hikers in a group. He sometimes allowed the faster hikers to go ahead so he could stay with the slower ones. One time half the group took a wrong turn, but he found us and herded us back! He found a laundry for us across from our hotel in Balleyvaghan after we fell in the mud along the Cliffs of Moher. He even gave me some tips on places to go, hike, and see in Scotland the following week. A very even keeled gentleman. Caroline was a joy to have along, even for half the week. She brought a different perspective to the hikes and had such a wonderful sense of humor. Our boat guide, Donal, was hysterical. We laughed our way across the lakes back to Ross Castle.

Denis is a wonderful and accommodating guide. His well-rounded knowledge of Ireland, its history and the landscapes that we were experiencing was especially appreciated. There was hardly a question that he wasn't able to answer. In our group, which was made difficult by varying hiking abilities, Denis want out of his way to provide a positive experience for all of us. He is a valuable asset to WI and if I were traveling again in Ireland I would definitely ask for Denis!

My guide, Denis, could not have been more kind and caring about everyone in our group. His knowledge about Ireland’s history, current affairs, folklore was limitless. Whatever your company pays this gentleman for his services is not enough.
